Hi all, The subject line is TRUE. Today I accidentally typed rnorm(!0). My old eyes took a minute to focus clearly enough to see what I really typed and why I got '!0' random numbers instead of '10' random normal numbers. If the subject line is disturbing, be assured that this is TRUE: !0^2 == !0 * !0 # ;-) Anyway, I hope the hands who have been around long enough to know FAQ 7.31 by heart and know why precedence of operators matters have a laugh.
